If a deactivated user has a restricted personal space, can an admin recover the information in the personal space, in case there is any information in that space of critical importance to the company?
<YOURS> is the site identifier, like https://companyname.atlassian.net, that was set up at the beginning.
I get "page not found" when adding our server base URL to any combination of the URL listed above. Is there another way to get to 'listpermissionpages' or might it be named something else?
To access the space permissions for the personal space, please try:
<Base_URL>/spaces/spacepermissions.action?key=~username
An example is:
http://localhost:8090/spaces/spacepermissions.action?key=~charlie
There is a tab on that page to see restricted pages as well as space permissions.
I got there by going to the personal space and choosing Space Tools>Permissions but if the space is restricted you won't be able to hit the landing page to get to Space Tools.
If the restricted space is not a personal space and you need to access the permissions you can go to Confluence Admin>Space Permissions and click Manage Permissions next to the space in the list of spaces.
If you are a member of the confluence-administrators group the personal spaces are accessible by default but if you have the Confluence Administrator global permission it does not include that access. There is a good explanation here:
Comparing the confluence-administrators group with the administrator permissions
When cleaning up I encountered that even with Sys admin privileges I wasn't able to recover permissions from the Space Permissions screen.
Thus I came up with this litte JS-hack to trigger "Recover" for those personal spaces anyways:
function recover(spaceKey) {
$.post('/admin/permissions/grantspacepermissions.action', {'atl_token': $('meta[name=ajs-atl-token]').attr('content'), 'spaceKey': spaceKey}, function(data) {console.log(data)} )
}
Just open the JS console when logged in and call the recover function with the spaceKey, e.g. recover('~yours') - now you can do to that space what needs to be done.
